The only good news for Tulane out of Lafayette on Tuesday
night was that the game finally ended.

The No. 5-ranked University of Louisiana at Lafayette club
pounded Tulane for a 16-0 loss, extending the Green Wave losing streak to three
games.

The Cajuns belted out 22 hits that including several
crushing blasts -- two home runs and three triples and the UL pitching staff
combined for a 3-hitter in dominating Tulane (13-14). The loss is the second
this season to UL. The Cajuns (27-3) defeated Tulane 7-4 on Mar. 12 in Turchin
Stadium.

Jake Willsey, the Tulane freshman second baseman, had two
Tulane's trio of hits. Richard Carthon had the other.

The night belonged to the heavy-hitting UL bats, however. The
Cajuns pelted out two runs in the first, a run in each the second, third, and
fourth innings, another two in the fifth and then ripped the contest wide open
with a six-run sixth.

The Cajuns entered the night with a .310 club batting
average and 34 home runs with a .511 slugging percentage.

The Tulane pitching didn't slow UL any. Caleb Adams went
3-for-3 with a RBI. Jace Conrad went 3-for-4 with a RBI. Dylan Butler, a Shaw
product, went 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Evan Powell blasted a three-run home
run.

Tulane right-handed freshman Corey Merrill (0-2) took the
loss. He lasted two innings and allowed four runs (all earned). Merrill ceded
six hits and struck out two but walked none. Zach Flowers, another freshman,
followed him to the mound. He struck out two, gave up a home run and a triple.
Flowers finished with 2.2 innings pitched, having allowed three runs (all
earned) and five hits. He walked one.

By the time Emerson Gibbs entered the game, Tulane was in a
seven-run hole. Gibbs too struggled to hold off the UL bats. Gibbs gave up four
runs (all earned) including the three-run shot Powell hit in the ... inning.

Brady Wilson, Matt Horton, and Andrew Garner also pitched
for the Green Wave. Horton was the only Tulane pitcher not to give up a run. He
went 1.1 innings and got one fly ball and three ground-outs.

UL reliever Matt Hicks (4-0) picked up the win for three
innings of work. He allowed two hits and struck out one, throwing just 30
pitches.

The Green Wave returns home to host UTSA for a Conference
USA series this weekend.
